Sometimes Opus 5 (high/xhigh) feels like I'm dealing with the programmer equivalent of Zeno of Elea.

Every time, without fail, it would get me 90% of the way there and then leave a small note, exception, or deferral. When instructed to address that, Opus would somehow take nearly the same amount of time as the first 90%. And then it would finish with yet another deferral. Repeat ad infinitum.

You can sometimes get around it using the `goal` directive provided you are not subject to the constraints of mortality.
